Our Pastor

Pastor David W. Smith, Jr. & wife, Amy

For over eighteen years, Pastor David W. Smith has assisted his father and founder of Victory Apostolic Church, Bishop Wayne Smith. In 2013, he became the pastor and has pursued the vision and dreams God placed in his heart to reach the community Franklin Parish.

Today, Pastor David W. Smith, his family, and the congregation continues to “Preserve the Vision” that his dad and most important God set from the very beginning. ​He has been a minister with the Assembles of the Lord Jesus Christ (ALJC) singing, preaching, and also has served as Louisiana District Youth President for the Assemblies of the Lord Jesus Christ.

ROMANS 10:14-15 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

Pastor Smith is passionate about God, family, and church. Pastor Smith is ready to work and build on the foundation of his father who served before him as a minister of 45 years. It is his heartfelt desire to see not just Victory Apostolic Church succeed, but all churches, regardless of size, have the tools they need to propel them into a greater revival and reap a harvest of souls.​

We are blessed with the musical talents of our Pastor and his wife in singing, playing, and writing music. He married Sis. Amy Acord Smith from Louisville, Kentucky in the year 1999. She attended Jackson College of Ministries in 1996-97 and is using her talents of singing, children's ministry, and graphic design for the Glory of God.​

They have three precious children, Cameron, Adriel, and Chloe, who are a special blessing to Victory Apostolic Church. The budding musical and creative talents of his his children are now a enhancement to the ministries at VAC.
